1. Damn, another loss for Arab world supremacy
William ,   Israel   (09.23.09)
Keeping trying. Apparently there are world sympathizers who believe in the "peace" of Muslims which is why so many Arab dictators appear on UN committees for human rights. But judging from your stupid racist accusations, Farouk Hosny, it is apparent to the world that Jewish concerns about you are indeed warranted. Your true face appears.
2. It's he who is to blame first of all
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.23.09)
Had'nt he said that he'll burn Israeli books and other such "nice" words , there would'nt be any reason to oppose his nomination
3. HOSNEY'S OWN WORDS MAKE HIM UNFIT...
stude ham   (09.23.09)
balming israel and some unknown jewish conspiracy only add to his unsuitability for the post he coveted. tough luck hosney... maybe iran's mad men have another job for you.
4. Bwahaha, serves him right!
David ,   Switzerland   (09.23.09)
5. Angry hosni
John ,   u.k   (09.23.09)
Nothing worse then being beaten by a woman, that's humiliating in arab culture
6. so he today disqualified himself again
Charles   (09.23.09)
by spewing anti-jewish hate
7. Hosny always remember : what goes around, comes around !
(09.23.09)
8. All the weasels ganged up against him!
Shlomo Kamra   (09.23.09)
9. Israel was kicked out of UNESCO
Sarah B ,   New York City, USA   (09.23.09)
back in the heady 1970s when the PLO first fancied itself to be made up of accredited diplomats. But when all else fails, blame the Jews, right? To which I say: prove it. The fact is that Hosny has only himself to blame. Gosh darn. He didn't really want to be the head of UNESCO. He just wanted a diplomatic passport and a right of residence in Switzerland. Too bad. He gets to stay in Cairo. I feel his pain. I also feel a considerable amount of glee. Oh well.
10. What a looser! What an anti-semite!
israeli 2   (09.23.09)
11. Typical Islamic response
Ben ,   Monroe USA   (09.23.09)
to personal failure. Blame the Jew.
12. Screw him. he got what he deserved. Nothing...!
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (09.23.09)
13. A dog knows his master
Ilan ,   Ariel   (09.23.09)
Give Hosni some more time. He is obviously a slow learner.
14. It must have been the Cultural wing of Mossad
Alan ,   SA   (09.23.09)
15. It was the 4000 Jews who didn't show up at the WTC
Ken Jurist   (09.23.09)
You got to love these backwards Arabs and their dumb conspiracy theories. If Hosi is concerned about racism, he should protest Egypt's racist policies against the Coptics.
16. Retard.
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (09.23.09)
17. What a dumbass
J K ,   NYC, USA   (09.23.09)
First he claims that he'd burn any Jewish book found in an Egyptian Library and now the vast Jewish conspiracy prevented his appointment to an organizational branch concerned with protecting the heritage of people's all over the world. Hey, dummy. They tend not to give posts like this to conspiracy-theory nuts with persecution complexes and a penchant for arson. Go home, loser.
18. not jews. AIPAC. ok its one in the same I guess
joy ,   ny   (09.23.09)
19. THE LONG TRADITION OF THE MUFTI OF JERUSALEM
dovdevan ,   ashdod,israel   (09.23.09)
before the vote he told the media that he was sorry for the anti semite statement that he made now that he lost we can see the ugly face of this men ! he comes from the antisemite tradition of the mufti of jerusalem during the WW2 §
20. Hosny
Abraham ,   NYC   (09.23.09)
Hosny who? Well, I didn`t even known that this "minister" was a candidate for the UNESCO position. But, if as a Jew I had such power to make him loose, then I am glad I did. It would have been interesting to have a censor and book burner as head of a cultural and educational organization that serves the world regardless of background, religion, nationality, etc. Please, do not be ridiculous!
21. egyptian nerd.....
les ,   canada   (09.23.09)
HA..HA..HA..HA..HA.....L.M.A.O....
22. No Wonder Muslim Countries Are So Ass-Backwards
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (09.23.09)
23. Score another one for the Great Jewish conspiracy!!
Misaac ,   Washington DC   (09.23.09)
Are we good or what? It's actually pretty funny how much our enemies fear us. Obviously this guy was completely unqualified and too corrupt for the position. But if he wants to blame the "all powerful Jews" let him.
24. Farouk Hosny
Egyptian   (09.23.09)
Most of the comments here show how ignorant some people are. Farouk Hosny is very secular (he even attacked the headscarf last year) and the Islamist groups (especially the Islamic brotherhood group (Hamas mother group)) are very happy that he failed to get this position. The position doesn’t have this much influence anyway.
25. The would-be uncultured head of UNESCO
Aharon ,   Los Angeles   (09.23.09)
UNESCO's core mission is to "Encourage international peace and universal respect by promoting collaboration among nations." Hosny supported book burnings of Israeli publications! Then, when he loses, he falls into classic anti-Semitism. Those on this talkback who support him ought to be looking at their own fascist tendencies.
26. The North Carolina Jews had a secret meeting!
Jethro ,   Wilmington, NC   (09.23.09)
What a joke. He might as well blame ALL the Jews in the world. Everyone blames the Jews for anything bad that happens to them, so what's new. If the Jews have so much influence why has there been no Jewish president? Or even Vice President? Keep blaming the ALL the Jews in the world so you can have an excuse why you don't succeed.
27. OK, so the Jews caused the 2004 Tsunami too?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (09.23.09)
OK, Mr. Hosney, you can blame us for everything but never forget that a Jew, Moses, with divine help brought the Ten Plagues down on Egypt. Please have a good look at them all and pay special attention to #10!
28. The UNESCO is to be blamed first and foremost...
Bernd ,   Germany   (09.23.09)
...for even considering such an uncultured and ignorant figure. A book burner as head of the world cultural organisation? What a sad joke would that have been...
29. Why Hosny Lost
John Daly ,   Rockville USA   (09.23.09)
The last straw was the charge by Arabic paper Elaph that Hosny helped Achille Lauro terrorists escape prosecution.
30. Psst Hosny I got a secret to tell you
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.24.09)
If was the Freemasons that conspired against you. I know because I am a 32nd Degree and a Past Master.
